Great locals only powder day today. To the guy who said "short icy runs".. If you're skiing in the runs you're doing it wrong. Runs are just for cutting across to get to more perfectly spaced trees. No double blacks? Try Xmas tree bowl or chute 2 or 3 and we'll see if you come out busted up or not. There's plenty of double black terrain off morningside. You simply can't come to steamboat once and say you experienced it, theres too much acreage.

Morningside now open. First champagne powder of the year. Snowed lightly all day with no wind so it stacked up light and fluffy. I was knee deep all day, 2" report kept everyone at home, those who went today were rewarded with nothing short of an epic powder day.

Great runs today! lottsa fluff. Gotta love the ol bar u r!

Icy....... Yep definetly

Another one... James Bond trees yesterday, knee to thigh deep.

Another pic for ya, good idea to get this back on track.

Picks . Got those

tom, the reason i love steamboat is the seclusion. once your are here, your here. no worries from the outside world just good people good powder and good times. ive skied squaw and everything inbetween. no place like da boat.

Skied here last winter. Flew into Hayden for the same price the airlines were quoting for Denver. Took a shuttle from the airport. Did not need a car all week. I here people complain about the terrain. If you talk to people you can find most any terrain you would hope for. Snow is great. "Resort" is sleepy, but downtown is a lot of fun. You are not going to find a lot of college age party scene like in Summit. Free shuttles and buses around town are convenient.

40 west. Headed for summit.

Super fun pow about 14 inches by end of day

So much pow ... Trees were awesome

Getting deep there this afternoon. Tomorrow will be tight

Chute 3 a few days ago

there's snow in them tha'r hills !

Good day on high noon

skied it all thanksgiving break. beautiful!

Good time this week

Beautiful first day in Steamboat! Great conditions for opening day with good coverage all over the open runs.

Epic bluebird. one of the best opening days.

Lots of terrain should open but don't expect sweet powder. Some small pockets of nice but almost whole mountain got wind. Everything from southwest to even northeast aspects. Closets in pic

I would think most of upper mountain will open

Man, to be honest it bums me out that you are all arguing over actual mountains. I live in ohio where we have small hills and have never been fortunate enough to be able to ride out west but my friend is taking me there this winter to Steamboat. I am going to take what I can get and be super thankful whether I'm riding our small hills here or a giant mountain in Colorado. Remember what you've been blessed with and be thankful.
